MATT Richards returned to action for the first time in almost a month in our 1-1 draw at Swindon Town last weekend and is looking forward to playing his part in the final run-in to the end of the season. "As long as I play I don't mind where I am," he said. "If I'm in the team it doesn't matter what position I am asked to play in. It's wherever I can get the ball. You're involved so much in midfield, everything goes through you and I'm just enjoying getting on the ball and touching it as much as I can.

"To play in the centre at Swindon was nice because you're involved in everything; I played there for about seven games at the start of the season but then there were a couple of injuries so I moved out to the left.. Hopefully I can keep my place for the final three games..

"Looking ahead to Saturday, we've got to look to beat Hartlepool. We want to finish as high as we can and enjoy the last few games. We're more relaxed and it shows at the moment. It's a nice place to be around, but t's just a shame that we couldn't put a run together beforehand.

"We're playing with freedom, the pressure is off a little bit, people are enjoying their football and it's showing."
